Portugal entered Sunday in second place in Group B, three points behind a Switzerland group that vanquished it 2-0. From that point forward, Portugal has set up a couple of 6-0 triumphs over Andorra.
Also, the Faroe Islands, two projects that don’t posture quite a bit of a risk on the worldwide stage.

The streak came toppling down when Cristiano played Nani into the crate and was stumbled up by Gints Freimanis to win a penalty. Ronaldo ventured up in the 28th moment and sent a hard, low shot into the base left corner to give Portugal the lead. Furthermore, his 6th goal in three matches for the national side.
Ronaldo had a brilliant open door for a moment from the punishment spot when Glebs Kluskins brought down Andre Gomes. In any case, the endeavor went off the crossbar, off the back of Latvian guardian Andris Vanins and out.
Latvia sent a stun in the 67th moment when Arturs Zjuzins sent home a left-footed shot past Rui Patricio to give the guests an improbable equalizer.
In any case, it would last all of two minutes when William Carvalho headed in a cross from Ricardo Quaresma to return Portugal in front.
Still, three straight wins against European minnows isn’t much to squint at. In any case, Portugal’s vanquishing the groups it should will make fitting the bill for a fifth straight World Cup simpler.
